three windows
in my small study
how the light falls
on wood, art, walls




three windows
in my small study
how the light falls
on wood, art, walls
childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday
small gifts
sustain hope
add together
light falls
on my Bible
and poetry
by my chair
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
kitchen work
I say “Good Morning”
to the generations
in holiday photos
on the refrigerator
cards on the table
it will take some time
to learn all the news
and I simply pray
that they all be well
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Winter afternoon
sun on a page
of poetry
and then light
in the trees
thoughts of
Christmas and
snowdrops in Spring
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Christmas carnations
in the vase that used to hold
fresh flowers for Mom
blessings each in turn
return to bless us
